Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Jaggery Muffins

I love the combination of chocolate and banana, it tastes absolutely yum! I have already posted another version of chocolate banana muffins that are made with all purpose flour (maida) and refined sugar, this recipe is the healthier version of chocolate banana muffins. This recipe uses whole wheat flour and jaggery and these muffins taste just as good as APF counterpart! 
My kids enjoyed these muffins a lot and I got no complaints from my husband or my kids about the texture or taste of these muffins. These are totally delicious, soft and moist muffins!

8. Remove from the oven and cool for 2 minutes and then remove the muffins from the tray and cool completely.

4. While mixing the dry ingredients, fold gently, do not over mix the batter.

    1. You can use flax seeds powder or yogurt. Try googling for egg substitutes, there are plenty available online.
